Toothpaste and floss are two of lots of wonderful dental instruments that are at your disposal as a lifelong oral health enthusiast. Mouthwash is one product you may want to think about using if you’re not already.
Using mouthwash could be an awesome addition to your oral health routine if you have a tough time with stinky breath. Though it’s in no way a substitute for brushing and flossing, rinsing with mouthwash has some of the same effects, namely eradicating plaque and cavity-triggering, food debris from your oral cavity. Mouthwash can be very effective, but we still endorse brushing twice daily and flossing each day!
Though rinsing with mouthwash is done to control plaque and clean your mouth, there are several positive side effects of using mouthwash. Mouthwashes can whiten pearly whites and make breath smell better. They may also support canker sore relief through temporary numbing. With mouthwashes that contain fluoride, cavity control is a positive side effect.
